Taveta golden weavers are small birds with short, heavy beaks. Males

are bright yellow with greenish wings and tail, and chestnut patches

on the nape and chest. They keep their bright plumage all year.

Females are yellowish-olive with dusky streaks and pale yellow

underparts. They have a yellow stripe above each eye.

Stanislav and Ivan for stopping by. These birds are quite jumpy and there was very limited light available when I took the shot. Quite glad the image came out alright.
